AT A GLANCE
Thanks to their high accuracy and fast load recovery time, the R&S®NGM200 power supplies are perfect
for challenging applications. Their two-quadrant architecture allows them to function both as a source and
a sink to simulate batteries and loads. Their short recovery times enable them to handle fast load changes
that occur, for example, when mobile communications devices switch from sleep mode to transmit mode.
High-speed data acquisition and convenient battery simulation widen the range of applications.
The single-channel R&S®NGM201 and the two-channel Thanks to their fast recovery time of < 30 µs, their mini-

Measurement uncertainties Guard band
Uncertainties
Represent limits of measurement uncertainty for a given measurand. Uncertainty is defined with a coverage factor of 2 and has been calculated in line
with the rules of the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM), taking into account environmental conditions, aging, wear and tear.
Device settings and GUI parameters are indicated as follows: “parameter: value”.
Typical data as well as nominal and measured values are not warranted by Rohde & Schwarz.
In line with the 3GPP/3GPP2 standard, chip rates are specified in million chips per second (Mcps), whereas bit rates and symbol rates are specified in bil-
lion bit per second (Gbps), million bit per second (Mbps), thousand bit per second (kbps), million symbols per second (Msps) or thousand symbols per
second (ksps), and sample rates are specified in million samples per second (Msample/s). Gbps, Mcps, Mbps, Msps, kbps, ksps and Msample/s are not
